The rounding crowd of chattering influencers tells me where DJI wants to grow, it's on the low end. What is coming into focus is the consumers want the flagship, DJI's position is, "they empty their pockets". There is plenty of growth opportunity on the low end, 3 varieties of Mavic Mini 3...

Now that they have reversed their commitment to offer an Combo with the RC-PRO other than the 5K Cine, well I'm hoping back off the fence and sitting on my money. As with any company, there are growing pains, but DJI is alienating the very customers it needs to grow.

WOW! DJI is just doubling down! There is a "tone-deafness" here that leaves you wondering "What are they thinking about?" Market strategies?? They lead their customers to believe there would be some "compensation" for buying a second controller, then pull the rug out from under that idea...

I have a Mavic 2 and an Air2S, the latter of which has become my favorite. But what animates me is the price increase! A 50% increase for the base models was very aggressive. DJI had a reputation for significantly improving their products while modestly raising its prices. Fair enough, But a...

I don't know if it is confirmed, but the rumor is that because of the pandemic-induced chip shortage, they replaced the GPS chip with what was thought to be an equivalent GPS chip mid-production. Combined with the rush to meet the 2021 Christmas season, DJI made a really bad decision. It would...

The rumors of a MAVIC 3S coming out by 4th quarter 2022 are getting stronger. I've been sitting on $3.500 and DJI will not get a penny until it fixes the MAVIC3 and I don't care how deeply it is discounted. If DJI listens, hear this. The public watched all the Youtuber influencers proclaim...

I'm with you. DJI was very aggressive with the pricing of the MAVIC 3. To have the product out for several months and still have major bugs is a disgrace. The rumor that the GPS problems are associated with a sub-standard GPS chip, that was installed on some MAVIC 3, if confirmed is a...

Yes, I just noticed, it's $150 off all MAVIC 3 configurations!

B&H has a sale on a Mavic 3 Combo for the second time in a month. Historically DJI drone products rarely go on sale early in their production cycle, maybe this is evidence the public is being slow to buy the MAVIC 3. I was waiting for a combo with the Pro Controller, which I hear is available...

This offer arrived this morning via email, but it may not be a good deal. I’ve been waiting for a Fly-More combo with the RC Pro, but at $3,899 this is$300 less than buying the standard Fly-More combo and the RC Pro separately. I called B&H and spoke to a salesman. Apparently what they are...

I'm with you. DJI has taken its customers for granted. Like you stated, this is an immature release. They discontinued the Smart Controler. I called to find out if the new Smart Controller will be backward compatible. They would not answer the question. I can only shake my head and wait. I...

I had the same question about the value of the Fly-More package. The additional batteries, charger hub, filters, and propellers for $900USD don't add up! In fact, you are paying more than to cost of the individual items at retail. This is DJI math. I have long been unimpressed with DJI's...

I also have so questions about that video and the potential for damage. Seems to be the 4-ton heli is displacing a whole lot of air the stay afloat and fly, would not this displacement fling a 3 kilogram drone way out of course? I'm thinking it's like a dingy colliding with an ocean liner.
